Feature Shows Extravaganza - Chapter 938
There is a very interesting coincidence!
Purchased by TBS and scheduled to be broadcast late at night, the premiere date of “Armored Wolf” is the same day as “Navard Warrior”.
The difference is…
Yalang is a weekly drama that broadcasts one episode every week. Nava is a Japanese drama, and the schedule is early in the morning.
To be honest, both dramas are quite miserable.
Needless to say, the late night stage of “Arab wolf”, the morning stage of “Nava” is not much better, after all, the neon “housewife drama” is popular.
TBS is not optimistic about Yalang and has not invested too much propaganda resources. Although ANB has invested resources in propaganda, it is also not optimistic about Nava’s ratings.
There is no way!
Although “The Gargoyle” is a local work, its too large scale is not conducive to ratings. The “take-watt” although “all ages to” work, but the background story happened in a foreign country ……
deficiencies ah!
Aside from the long sighs of ANB and TBS, Meng Lang, who was just about to board the plane and return home, saw an unexpected news on the Neon Network.
“Thunder Puppet” is on fire!
To be precise, is this show in neon fire? The neon people who are deeply influenced by Chinese culture seem to love the themes of “puppet show” and “puppet show”.
At first, a neon variety show introduced “Thunder Puppet”, which aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
Then with the help of Zhengyi No Weifang, Neon netizens saw the “translated” drama series. Not only did I meet the puppets, but I also learned how to recite poetry numbers!
Discussions about “Thunder Puppets” can be seen everywhere on Neon’s largest ACGN forum [Le World].
Even the production team was acquired by PD, and they knew about the news that the new work was going to use “shadow play” as the theme.
To this end, the search volume of Yahoo’s keyword “Shadow Play” has also increased!
This made Meng Lang sigh with emotion.
Although the “Thunder Puppet” series has gained a group of hardcore fans, and the word of mouth exploded as a masterpiece, it really didn’t make any money.
PD invests in this drama, just want to spend money to buy a bit of word of mouth, it is the best to make money, it doesn’t matter if you don’t make money.
totally unexpected!
Does this series have an audience overseas? And according to his observations, this audience group is quite large, and the enthusiasm is more than that.
Can you use it?
Although I do not expect to make money from this series, it is also a good income to break into overseas markets and earn a wave of word of mouth.
“I go back and try it!”
After learning general idea Meng, Chen Huan filled with joy and said: “! Europe neon millions to promote the vote that, if really effective, it then consider the next step to develop IP”
“That
I’ll leave it to you!” ” Right ! I left for the past two days, the crew is
fine , right? Yan Tao sent an email to find me, what is the matter?” “Everything is normal for the crew!”
Chen Huan smiled and said: You should be for the wedding next week. I hope you can be there.”
“Finally got the certificate?”
Meng Lang curiously asked: “When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
“Ahem…”
Chen Huan looked strange. After taking a look at the surroundings, no one overheard, he whispered: “Fengzi is married!”
Good fellow!
Meng Lang speaks to the insider!
This method of getting in the car and making up the ticket is exactly the same as him? Yan Tao is indeed the second director of PD? Perfectly inherited the style of the first director.
“Good thing! Double happiness is coming!”
Meng Lang smiled and said, “What about the other person? Quickly let him come to my office, I will seal him a big red envelope!”
“Should be in the prop factory? He messed up Seven OV? Now he is holding his breath. Prove yourself! “
Broken up?
Hearing this, Meng Lang suddenly became calm. After bidding farewell to Chen Huan in a hurry? drove to a prop factory in the suburbs and asked Yan Tao about the situation.
“How do you say ……”
Yan Tao explains scratching their heads:. “, The replacement of the theme song” “?? Commemorate the trilogy coming to an end OV series taking into account the special nature of my last as a” betrayal of the sun
a result, the It’s bad!
The original theme song of “UItra Sever” has been sung for many years and has become a common memory of Sever fans. Yan Tao’s rash change of the theme song? In their opinion, it is undoubtedly a “failure.”
So classic songs? Why change?
Fans strongly requested that Yan Tao change back to the original theme song, otherwise he would not watch it or buy a DVD.
For the Seven OV series, ratings are not important? Peripheral derivatives are not important. The main profit point is the “Fan Xiang Collection DVD Set”.
To offend fans for a simple “theme song”? The DVD set was cancelled. Yan Tao’s operation was indeed a failure.
“Lost Memories” and “Longer Than Earth” have made a good start? Commemorating the last work of the trilogy, “The Betrayal of the Sun” is a top priority.
Well done, these trilogy will surely become a masterpiece? Are countless fans regarded as a classic? Some years later, people still buy DVD collection or watch.
Didn’t do it well? Being scolded is a trivial matter, affecting the completion and reputation of the entire “Memorial Trilogy”, that would be bad!
“Change it back!”
Meng Lang suggested: “Seven has been broadcast for many years, and feelings are something we must pay attention to. Since they like the old theme song, use the previous version and don’t confront the audience.”
“Okay, I will arrange it now.”
Yan Tao is not a stubborn person, since Mr. Mengdu said so, let’s change it back.
“Betrayal of the Sun” tells a story about “negative energy” as a clue.
Suddenly a large amount of gold appeared in a village, and the villagers fought to fight for the gold. A strange eyeball floating in the air sucked something from these villagers, and then Zhu Xingtuan came here…
As the last work of the Saiwen OV memorial trilogy, it is also the final work of the trilogy, “Betrayal of the Sun” “Introduced the concept of “negative energy” in Altman’s TV plot, and explored the pros and cons of human negative thinking about greed and selfishness, and the quality is absolutely pass.
And PD is more generous than Tsuburaya!
When Tsuburaya filmed the Seven OV series, he gave a small budget. From the botched special effects and setting, it can be seen that the crew really has no money, and OV is supported by the plot.
But Meng Zi gave Yan Tao a large sum of money, enough to allow him to make fine special effects and perfect the lack of details.
This also leads to…
From the perspective of Meng Lang’s viewing experience, the completion quality of the PD version of the “Commemorative Trilogy” is obviously better than the original version.
The results are better!
The commemorative trilogy, which did not land on the theater, was all broadcast by Bird TV. As a special TV episode aired at noon, the average ratings reached 3.11%!
On the big bird video, the cumulative play volume of the trilogy exceeded 100 million. Among them, the volume of “Lost Memories” has exceeded 50 million!
The cumulative DVD sales of the trilogy have exceeded one million copies. Calculated based on the collection price of 88 yuan, this part of the income is also tens of millions.
all in all!
After filming this trilogy, although a lot of money was spent, there was no loss at all, and even a small profit.
This also strengthened Meng Lang’s confidence that he can continue to shoot down and get all the “Six Finals” and “Evolution Five” out.
However, this is for the future.
“The commemorative trilogy has just finished, and the six final chapters will not be produced so quickly. As for your next focus, you can lean towards the PD Incredible Comedy series!”
“Okay! I’m fine!”
Yan Tao nodded and agreed: “” small robot 8 “and” robot circle “of good, and will continue to follow the theme for the new robot do?”
“robot even if ……”
ZhuTouRou again incense, eating more will be tired. In recent years, “robot” works have been frequently released. Even if the audience is not tired of watching it, Meng Zi is tired of watching it.
Have fun with other themes!
What kind of magical girl, gourmet food, super detective, and beautiful girl mask are all right!
Anyway, the “incredible comedy” series, the original route is “spoof”. As long as it can make the audience happy and earn a certain rating, any subject can be stuffed into it.
“By the way, have you arranged a honeymoon trip?”
“No!”
Yan Tao shook his head and looked at President Meng curiously, wondering why he cares about this.
“Then it will be easy!”
“Since there is no honeymoon trip, you should have plenty of time, so let’s do it! Don’t make any TV dramas, just make movies!”
Meng Lang said with a smile: “Gaia Altman’s How about the theatrical version? Does it suit your appetite?”
Yan Tao: “???”
Altman Gaia hasn’t been broadcast yet, so consider going to the theater version?
“President Meng, isn’t this bad?”
Although Yan Tao is very interested in this movie, he thinks Mr. Meng’s approach is problematic!
It is also a pillar-level IP!
On the Kamen Rider side, there is no plan for theatrical version of Kamen Ryukyi Yajito, and Ultraman has already shot several movies in a row. Is this fair?
“Who said Kamen Rider didn’t have it?”
Meng Lang said silently: “Before Shirakura was too busy to work alone, so President Ono’s theatrical version of the project was all stranded.”
“But now there is Omori!”
“I have been with him. He said, before making a submaximal Tuo Movie “G4 plan ‘, and then a whole Dragoon Movie” last event “555 Movie” Lost paradise “is also planning to list ……”
so much ? !
Knowing that Mr. Meng has made arrangements, Yan Tao is also a little relieved.
Since President Meng has considered everything, Ultraman is also his favorite subject, why not take it?
Gaia has two theater editions.
In chronological order, they are “The Great Battle” and “Reappearance of Gaia”.
Gaia reappears, telling the story after the ending of Gaia TV, which is not suitable for shooting now.
Therefore, the draft plan Meng Lang handed over to Yan Tao can only be “The Great Battle in Time and Space”!
Interesting to say…
Many people have seen this movie, and know that the slogan of this movie is “The assembly of three heroes that cannot be seen on TV!”
But!
How many people know that the full name of this movie is “Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dana & Ultraman Gaia, The Great Battle in Time and Space”?
This name is really long…
The full name of the Ultraman theater version is generally relatively long, and fans are usually called “abbreviated”.
For example, “Super Eight”!
This is “The Great Battle! The abbreviation of “Super Eight Brothers”! The Star Warrior is the abbreviation of “Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warrior of the Star of Light”.
Tsuburaya has a bad habit!
When they name big movies, they like to add the name “every protagonist”. Such as “xx Ultraman & xx Ultraman: xxx battle” this style.
It’s not that this is not possible!
Neon special film movies, especially TV series derivative movies, like this kind of stinky long shit titles, and they are proud to print posters for publicity.
The reason for this is that they hope to attract fans and passersby to buy tickets to watch the movie through the “prefix character name”.
Take the time and space battle for example!
The title of the film comes with three Ultraman names “Digadanagaya”, and the unsuspecting audience was immediately attracted by it.
This is a great way!
But Meng Lang doesn’t like it!
He feels that there is no need to use this method to attract eyeballs with major IP movies of the level of “Ultraman” & “Kamen Rider”.
On the contrary, it is a simple, elegant and catchy film title, which is more in line with his expectations for IP works such as Ultraman and Kamen Rider.
The ultimate holy war!
Super time battle!
Super Eight Brothers!
Without adding any prefixes, as long as the “starring Ultraman” figure is posted on the movie poster, fans will naturally buy it.
What are all the bells and whistles? There is a group photo of the three masters of Heisei on the poster, and the audience naturally knows that this film is “the assembly of the three masters of Heisei”.
This is Meng Lang’s view!
Yan Tao thinks it makes sense, and he also supports the “film name reduction” approach. A title that is too long and mouth-watering is totally unnecessary.
Just make sure it’s catchy!
In the final analysis, the success or failure of a movie is determined by its content. Rather than making a fuss about the title, it is better to polish the script carefully.
The plan for “Chrono-Space” includes a part of the script outline.
After reading it carefully, Yan Tao nodded to Meng Lang, saying that he was okay and he was fully qualified for the job.
Of course, he also has doubts.
From the perspective of the business case, “The Great Battle in Time and Space” should be a movie of great significance. Why doesn’t Mr. Meng take the shot himself, but instead entrust it to him?
“I have something else!”
Meng Lang explained: “After Gaia is over, I will probably make a big movie with M78 as the background to give fans a peace of mind and save them from making trouble all day long.”
“So…”
Yan Tao nodded thoughtfully.
Tiga, Dyna and Gaia have to air, so many old Ultraman fans can’t sit still.
What about the M78 universe?
Where is the kingdom of light?
They are very worried, afraid that the fires of Digadyna and Gaia will cause the Ultraman series to “open up a parallel world” and completely abandon the M78 universe.
For them, this is an unacceptable thing!
Although the parallel world is quite good, and Digadyna also performed well, in their hearts, they still prefer Ultraman from the M78 main universe.
This is also normal!
After all, from the first generation to Audi, the M78 universe has laid an unshakable foundation in the minds of the audience through many works.
Even if the follow-up U40 galaxy, the Dedai universe is very good, it still can’t replace the M78 main universe.
The audience’s current thinking is: Without M78 and the Kingdom of Light, they always feel that Ultraman is missing something…
